XY graph export simplified image emf bug

Hi,

 

I have a problem with exporting a XY graph to a simplified image (Enhanced metafile .emf or Encapsulated postscript .eps).

Or using the print front panel option / method.

 

When you run the example vi (XY graph bug - LabVIEW 2013 SP1.vi), right click the XY graph and choose the option "Export Simplified Image...", some of the plots are inverted when you choose .emf or .eps in the options menu (see "Export Simplified Image options.png").

 

Screen capture XY graph.PNG  -->    Printout XY graph.PNG

 

When you choose Bitmap it works fine.

 

Any ideas?

Or is it a bug in LabVIEW 2013?

Hi BJK,

 

I looked into the problem you were having. Yes you are correct, this is a known issue to us, and R&D is currently working on it. The current workaround would be to export the simplified image into Bitmap (.bmp) format.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your answer.

Actually I wanted to use the option "Automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution" or the "Print.Panel to Printer" method".

Print entire panel.PNG

 

But when I do that I have the same problem.

 

Any workaround for that?
